Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I wouldn't advise anyone to jump from a plane,
Without using a parachute although they want to fly.
Especially those asking,
The purpose and reason a parachute is needed.
...

Where do you have it stated,
That I seek your self importance?
Point it out to me,
Where my dreams, wishes and beliefs...
...

It is much easier for me,
To be very patience with a child...
Asking questions about life.
Than it is for me to answer,
...

There is one important aspect,
I have learned in the living of my life.
And that is to live it to its fullest.
Regardless of who says what,
...

There is more than one thing,
Swept under a rug that shows to lump.
And those who say as if mystified,
Others have made a mountain from a mole hill...
...

False hope has been achieved for decades.
With a reality of it in abundance that sits.
Leaving reality to face denied and resisted.
As a negativity visits to defend without end.
...

Like taxes, entitlements and rights bestowed,
Laws are created...
To seperate, divide and control,
Those who can not escape through loopholes.
...

I use to believe I had to seek affirmation,
To validate my actions with wishes desired.
Until I learned I could affirm them myself.
With a doing not to seek them being delivered.
...

Deception always seems to have...
Hands outreached to grasp and hold.
With a comprehension understood.
And those unquestioning duped to follow,
...

For 'what' do I need you?

You are the one who used me to create,
Your vicious lies and alibis...
...
